They don't teach you that in Sunday School...

Okay, this post is not for the faint at heart.

Today, my friend Kelly Story stopped by to drop off a free ticket for next week's 4th of July shindig. I'm not sure what's involved other than fireworks, drag racing, and beer, but I think it'll be fun anyway. :)

So for some reason, I went over to Lance's cube. And one of our other co-workers walks up and says "Jokes are funny." Pause.

He says that he's got a great joke.

But then he can't remember it.

So he tried to remember it.

Still no joke.

We tried to change the subject and that's when he said "What's the difference between rape and seduction?" My jaw dropped.

He can't remember the punchline. I really tried to change the subject.

He says, "I remember! Salesmanship."

Uh. I said "That's not funny, it's scary. And untrue."

A guy from the shop walks up, having heard this and says, "it's like my buddy used to say...when a Jehovah Witness comes to his door and asks if he found Christ, he says, 'Yeah and I want to file press charges because he raped me.' Haha. When they ask me that I just say I worship Satan. And you know? I've never had one person come back."

1) No - he really forgot it. He's like that. You know...awkward and forgetful.

2) No - I think he is also oblivious to the fact that I am female and also that that joke may be offensive to anyone.

3) I don't know which joke you're referring to. Either way if someone was raped by Christ or a bad salesman, it's not good.

And I avoid the whole JW thing because I don't answer my door. EVER. Unless I'm expecting someone. And then I turn off the TV, close the windows, and stop breathing so they can't tell that I'm in there.

Also, seriously - it's like that at your company too? Yikes. It's catching.
